FISHING-REEL.

Application filed August 19, 1907 Serial Specification of LettersPatent.

Patented June 9,1908.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK SCHREIDT, citizen of the United States,residing at Mansfield, in the county of Richland andState of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Fishing-Reels, of whichthe following is a specification.

, My invention is an improvement of application for Letters PatentSerial No. 329,160, filed Aug. 4, 1906, and relates to that-class offishing reels in which facilities are provided for casting the linedirect from in which means are provided to increase or decrease thespeed of the winding spool through suitable clutch mechanism.

It is well known that in order to provide, an efficient and convenientfishing reel that a differential movement must be provided for the spoolto permit of the proper and effectual handling of spool at the will ofcreasing the speed of the operating lever.

The objects of my improvements are therefore: first, to-construct afishing reel that will permit the casting of the fishing line from awinding spool; second, to afford for connecting the spool throughsuitable clutch mechanism to the operating lever to obtain afldirectpull on the line; third, to rovide an audible alarm toindicate when thefishing line is fourth, to provide a suitable means for ing the spool.1'

The primary object of my invention is to provide three separate anddistinct movements or speeds for the spool, as follows;

ock-

first, to rotate the spool for casting purposes independent of the reelmechanism; second, line to be wound on thethe fishing the a plication ofdirect 'ower ium of the operating ever;

topermit s 001 .by t irough the-.me( third,- to increase out increasingthe speed of the operatlng handle at the will of the operator and throuthe medium of suitable gearing preferabl quadrupling the speed of thespool.

I attain these and other objects by the mechanism illustrated in theaccompanying drawings in which: 4

Figure the operating .mechanism. elevation with the gear case coverremoved the spool, and

all sizes of'fish. In, order to do'this properly it is necessary toincrease or decrease the speed of the winding the operator without in-=thereto by means of screws 14*.

facilities being drawn from the spool; I

Fig 2-, is a side showing the relative position of the shafts andgearlng. Fig. 3, is a side view of a central section of the spoolshowing the rack and notches.

In the construction of mydevice I employ a casin comprising two parts, 1and 2 having inward y extending lugs 34 5 and 6 which contact with eachother at the points 7 and 8 leaving a space 9 between them.-.

The lugs have outwardly extending circular )ortions the ugsforming partof the casing and b1- sected at the same oints as the lugs.

The peripheries of the circular portions 10 and 10 are exteriorlyscrew-threaded and adapted to engage with the inner peripheries of thebushings 12 and 13 thereby securing ing the casing and leaving the space9 hereinbefore referred to.

An'elongated recessed portion 13' made integral with the part 2 of thecasing is provided with a suitable cap 14 rigidly secured The shaft 15is fitted to and adapted to rotate in suit able bearings 15 and 15formed in the parts 11 and 2 of the casing. The end 15 of the shaft 15is journaled on a suitable pivot 16 rigidly secured in the cap adjustedtherein by means of screw-threads. A reel 17 .is fitted to and rigidlymounted on .the shaft 15 and is adapted to rotate therewith.

The shaft 15 is provided which is secured thereto.

with a pinion 1' 8 A pinion 19 is An intermediate ini0n'21 is ournaledon ing. The pinion, 19 meshes. with the pinion 21 which in turn mesheswith the pinion 18 secured on shaft 15,.

Wings 23 are made into ral with the pin y therefrom. large gear wheel24v is journaled upon the shaft 20 adjacent to the inner face of the cap25 which extend outwardly therefrom,

a suitable bolt 27 rigidly secured to the ca 14. The large gear wheel 24meshes wit 10 and 10 made integral with and rigidly retalning the partstogether form- 14 and adaptedto be journaled on the shaft 20 adjacent topart2.

An intermediate pimon 26 is journaled on a suitable bolt 22 r1gid1y,secured to the .cas-

the pinion 26 which in turn meshes with a suitable pinion 28 secured onthe shaft 15 adjacent to the cap 14.

A sleeve 29 is slidably mounted on the shaft 7,- 20 and is adapted to berotated therewith.

Wings 30 and 31 are made integral with said sleeve and are adapted toengage with the wings 23 and 25 of the pinion 19 and gear Wheel 24. Alever "32 is pivotally journaled on the pin 33 and having its upwardlyextending free end 34 fitted to the annular groove 35 formed in thesleeve 29 to reciprocate the said sleeve upon the shaft 20, therebythrowing the wings 30 and 31in and out of contact with the Wings 23 and25 formed on the pinion 19 and gear wheel 24 respec-' tively.

When the Wings 31are brought in contact with the wings 25 increased ormultiple speed is transmitted'to the shaft 15. ,When the wings 30 arebrought in contact with the Wings 23 the same speed is transmitted tothe shaft as is imparted to the operating lever as the pinionstransmitting themovement to the shaft 15 are of the same size.

When it is desired to cast the line from the spool independent of thehigh or low speed mechanism, the lever 32 is thrown to its centralposition as shown in the drawing. This disengages the wings of thesleeve from the high and low speed gearing and permits the spool torotate independent of the high or low speed mechanism.

annular series of notches 36 is formed in the spool 17. Aboss 37projectsfrom the side of the part 1 of the casing and is provided with aspring actuated pin 38 having its end in the path of the notches 36 andadapted to register therewith. It will be observed that 40 this is agreat convenience in transporting the, reel from place to place, or whenthe line is not in use as it securely locks the spool and revents theline from being' unwoundthereom.

The pin is withdrawn from the notches by compressing the spring 38 andis held in or out of contact therewith by the pin 39 whichrests in slotsof different depths formed in the outer endvof the boss 37.

In order to provide a means of giving an audible alarm when the fishingline is being drawn from the reel, 1 form a modified rack 40 on thespool 17 An outwardly projecting portion 41 if formed on the path'of therack and a-pin 42 having a flattened end is inserted in a suitableaperture proyidd in the center of the projectingportion. The' pin 42 isheld under spring tension and is brought in or out of contact with themodified rack in and out ofengagement by pulling upward on the pin andpermitting the pin to be held in or out of contact by the in 43 whichrests in slots of diflerentdepths aimed at ri ht angles with each otheron the outer end o theboss 41. 5

When the fishing line is being drawn from the s 001 the pin 42 is incontact with the modified rack and as the audible alarm is given throughthe medium of the pin contacting with the-rack.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1s casing, a shaft journalcd in said casing, a spoolsecured thereto, arr auxiliary shaft journaled to said casing, a sleeveslidably fitted to said auxiliary shaft rovided with clutch members, acap, variab e speed gear ing mounted on the casing" and vided withclutch members to engage with clutch members of the sleeve to impartvariable speed to the spool, an operating handle I to reciprocate thesleeve for the purpose set forth.
